The Italeri 6005 model recreates Austrian infantry units active in the Napoleonic period, concentrating on troop types common during the 1809 operations. It is suited to hobbyists who enjoy painting historical figures and building accurate period scenes.
Austrian forces around 1809 featured uniform shifts, notably the 1798 helmet used by light troops such as the Frei-Corps and Jagers. Italeri reflects these differences, providing sculpted riflemen and grenadiers complete with bearskin headgear. The set is ideal for portraying skirmish lines or formations like the Grenadiers Corps Reserve under Liechtenstein.
Containing 48 figures plus a horse, this kit supplies enough figures for tabletop displays or modest diorama projects. The moulding detail supports fine painting work and offers a rewarding assembly for both newer and experienced modellers, ending in a period-accurate presentation piece.
